CM Punk is better than Matt & Jeff Hardy

While I’ve made my feelings on Matt Hardy pretty well known over the past couple of months, I never really had a problem with Jeff. I find him far more charismatic than he’s given credit for, and while his work is sloppy looking, his technical skills aren’t as far behind Matt’s as Matt likes to make people think. However, after watching his “shoot” on CM Punk, I now can’t stand Jeff either. Holy Hell, is there any family less likable than the Hardys right now? Are there any two individuals, in recent memory, that have destroyed the special and unique bond they have with their audience? Here’s the video, if you haven’t seen it yet:



Wow. Just wow. There’s Jeff, slurring his words and rubbing his red nose as he judges CM Punk for POSSIBLY taking Ambien to fall asleep at night. Yeah, and who’s the one who was charged with drug trafficking? And here’s a guy who just brought a kid into the world, and he’s talking about how CM Punk’s drug free lifestyle is “not right.” Mind you, he’s not talking about CM Punk being a jerk or being preachy….he’s talking about going out and having fun (i.e. not drinking or doing drugs). And this idea of Jeff “making” CM Punk is ludicrous. Before Punk feuded with Jeff, he became the first – and ONLY – WWE Superstar to hold the World Championship on all three rosters (he was ECW Champion on ECW, World Heavyweight Champion on Raw, and captured the World Heavyweight Championship on Smackdown against Jeff). He was also a two-time Money in the Bank winner. Clearly the front office had big plans for this guy.

I’m not discounting the important role Jeff played in Punk’s development. Quite frankly, I don’t think Punk’s heel turn would have worked against anybody else, except maybe Shawn Michaels. And even then, it wouldn’t have been as perfect a match. And Punk’s heel turn IS what made everybody open their eyes to the guy. But, to be honest, that had more to do with Punk. Hardy was a perfect foil, but Punk had the goods to make it work. This is like saying that Matt Morgan made Jeff Hardy.

And you’re giving the middle finger…..oh, how edgy!!!

And then you have Matt there stuffing his face with French Fries (but it was those intestinal issues that made you a fat piece of crap, right?) talking about how CM Punk is very dramatic and very emotional. Um, what? Is CM Punk the one who made numerous incoherent and erratic YouTube videos a week repeatedly complaining about everything that’s happened to him in the past year? And when your girlfriend cheats on you with your best friend, you’re a Grade A Chump if you sit there and listen to her when she complains about her new boyfriend. What a tool.
